The participation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cardiovascular diseases suggests them as potential targets for novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. In this study, the key myocardial miRNA, miR-21, was identified in the murine coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis model and its contribution to disease progression was explored.
